Northern Ireland 'level up' on way to Russia with cool Super Mario video

With a playoff against Switzerland now the only thing standing between them and the 2018 World Cup, Northern Ireland have marked their amazing achievement in fitting fashion.

Taking a hefty slice of inspiration from Nintendo's classic Super Mario franchise, Northern Ireland have produced a brilliant little retro-tinged video showing them "levelling up" by seeing off the likes of the Czech Republic and Azerbaijan in the group stage.

The Green and White Army now face a two-legged confrontation with a final boss, namely the Swiss national side, in early November as they continue on the road to Koopa's Castle.

By which, of course, we mean the World Cup.
